Interpretation

Apparatus Criticus: HaNS 344: wḥdy for ywḥd; mn for m; Translation of w ngy m- ḥrn mn ks¹ʿ "and he escaped from the Ḥawrān from the illness which afflicts the udder of the ewe" (wa naǧā hāriban min Ḥawrān min dāʾ 'l-kasaʿ).
Commentary: The order of the letters suggests that the third name should be read ywḥd. There is no n after the third m in the copy. We take mks¹ʿ as a passive D-participle. The Arabic root ks¹ʿ signifies a kind of striking with the hand or foot on the rear of a man. This is obviously the result of semantic narrowing and it is reasonable to posit that the term referred more generally to hitting in former times.
